Supporting causes we believe in.
| Every year through our 10% Pledge to Protect and Conserve, AFTCO and the Shedd Family contribute at least 10% of company profits. Our largest contributions in 2022 were to the following longstanding conservation partners: Coastal Conservation Association, Center for Sportfishing Policy, FishAmerica Foundation, Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute, International Game Fish Association, and the B.A.S.S. Nation. | | | In 2022, we donated $426,465 in cash contributions through our 10% Pledge. Additionally, AFTCO donated approximately $400K in product and contributed employee time to support causes we believe in. Below we have highlighted three projects that were new in 2022, each receiving $25,000 from AFTCO. | | | Understanding where these animals go and how they utilize their habitat provides invaluable data to scientists and resource managers to help ensure long-term billfish conservation. | | | Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources | | | AFTCO contributed to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, helping stock 300,000 largemouth bass into the Ohio River, Kentucky River, and several other rivers and reservoirs across the state of Kentucky. | | | North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and the North Carolina B.A.S.S. Nation | | | We have partnered with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) and the North Carolina B.A.S.S. Nation to improve bass habitat. | | | We are committed to reducing our operational and environmental impacts on the oceans, rivers, lakes, and land. This means integrating sustainability into our manufacturing processes, products, packaging, and day-to-day operations. Check out the progress we made in 2022. | | | Packaging Made From 100% Ocean Bound Plastic Pollution | | | When you place an order at aftco.com, your items will arrive in POLLAST!C™ packaging. Utilizing a low energy and low impact process, these mailers are made from 100% ocean bound plastic pollution collected from coastal communities with undeveloped waste management systems. They're traceable, carbon neutral, certified, and can be recycled with other soft plastics. | | | We continued our commitment to sustainability and conservation at ICAST with a 50-by-30 foot fully recyclable tradeshow booth printed on FSC-certified materials. | | | Built on Passion: The Trosset Family Legacy | | | Few individuals need an introduction less than R.T. Trosset, a name etched in both the record books and the generational lore of Florida Keys captains. A recipient of the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) Lifetime Achievement Award and the Tommy Gifford Legendary Captains Award, R.T. Trosset's total number of IGFA world records stretches well beyond the conceivable: a staggering 239 as angler or captain. When R.T. says they were catching world records every third trip, sometimes six in a day, it's hard to argue against the numbers. | | | No longer want to receive these emails?
